Application May 4, 1940, Serial No. 333,383 1 Claim.` (Cl. 30-43) Myinvention relates to agshaving implement adapted for use as a dryshaverof the motor driven type.

Among the objects of my invention are to provide a shaving implementadapted to give as close a shave as desired by the user with positiveclipping action and without pulling hair or causing a burning sensation;to create a shaving implement having a double head withV eight shavingsurfaces; to supply a shaving implement in which four of the shavingsurfaces are substantially at right angles to the four other shavingsurfaces and in which there are spaces between each of the shavingsurfaces on the same plane; to afford a construction which will make theskin of the user taut so as to hold up the bristles on his face for thebetter shaving ofl of the same; to create a shaving implement which willbecause of its added surfaces give a multiple shaving action withordinary application for greater speed and efficiency, and such otherobjects, advantages and capabilities as will laterv more fully appearand which are inherently possessed by my invention.

While I have shown in the accompanying drawing a preferred form of myinvention, yet I desire it understood that the same is susceptible ofmodification and change without departing from the spirit of myinvention.

Referring to the drawing, Fig. 1 is a top plan view of my shavingimplement; Fig. 2 is a front elevational view and Fig. 3 is a sideelevational view of the same; Fig. 4 is an enlarged detailed sectionalview on line 4 4 of Fig. 3; Fig. 5 is a detailed view on line 5-5 ofFig. 2 with one head broken away to show the same in section; Fig. 6 isan enlarged top plan view showing the heads; Fig. 7 is a perspectiveView of an electric vibrator with two driving members.

The embodiment selected to illustrate my invention comprises ahollowcasing I0, preferably of two parts, in which is arranged in any suitablemanner a motor II as shown in Fig. 4 or a vibrator 50 as shown in Fig.7, connected by lead wires I2 to an electrica1 source of supply.

Extending upwardly from the motor II or armature 5I of the vibrator 50are a pair of spaced driving shafts I3, each shaft adapted to engage ahead I5.

Each of my two heads I5 comprises an outer stationary member I6 and aninner movable member I1. The outer member I6 has a pair of oppositelydisposed upwardly extending portions I8, bent at their upper ends atsubstantially right' angles thereto and extending inte- 55 grallyinwardly to form at top portions I9 connected by a U shaped or channelportion 20. A plurality oi' spaced and substantially paralle1 slits 2|are formed longitudinally across most of each of the top portions I9;said slits continuing at the outer edges of the top portions I 9 toextend downwardly a short distance on each of vertical portions I8.

The inner member I1 is substantially channel shaped to t and slidablymove on the inner side of U shaped channel portion 20 of outer memberI6. The outer edges 40 on each side of said inner member I1 are extendedat substantially right anglesand have a plurality of spaced serrationsor teeth 22. A centrally disposed aperture 23 is cut in movable memberI1 to receive the upper end of shaft I3.

A base member 52 has upward extensions 53 on each end adapted to fitwithin the rounded hollow end portions 54 of outer member I6 and to beattached thereto by pins 55. The base member 52 has a substantiallycentral aperture 56 to permit the driving shafts I3 to pass therethroughto contact the movable member I'I. On either side of said centralaperture 56 are opena pair of substantially ings 51 to receive springs28, the upper ends of which bear against the under portion of movablemember I1 on either side of aperture 23.

The top of my casing I0 has a pair o1' substantially flat surfaces 58separated by an upstand-v ing spacer 59. Openings 24 are provided insurfaces 58, through which extend the spaced driving shafts I3. Each ofmy heads I5 rests with its base member 52 upon one of the flat surfaces58 and with driving shaft I3 within central aperture 56. The bottoms ofsprings 28 rest against flat surfaces 58.

To attach each of my heads I provide a pair of oppositely disposed slots29 within casing I8 and on opposite sides thereof. Within said slots 29are perfectly tted nuts 38 each having a screw threaded aperture 3l. Apair of clamping members 32 adapted to fit within notches 36 on eitherside of casing I0 also have each a countersunk aperture 33. A bolt 38passes through apertures 33 and 3|. The clamping members 32 each have aslight inturned flange 34 and a center member 35 adapted to braceagainst the ends of the base member 52.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:

In a shaving implement a casing having a fiat top portion with acentrally depressed recess, an upstanding non-shaving spacer with itslower portion resting within said recess and its upper portion extendingabove said top portion and separating said top portion into two denitelyspaced fiat surfaces, a pair of shaving heads, each of said shavingheads having a fiat bottom surface resting on top of one of the twospaced at surfaces of said top portion, said shaving heads spaced bysaid spacer, each of said spaced fiat surfaces of the top portion havinga central opening therethrough, driving means in said casing havingspaced driving shafts extending upwardly through said central openingsin said spaced fiat surfaces of the top portion to engage and operate,said spaced shaving heads, each of said shaving heads having a pair ofapertures on either side of said central opening, springs positioned insaid apertures with the tops of said springs bearing against saidshaving heads, and the bottoms of said springs bearing against said flatsurfaces of the top portion of ,said casing, said casing having notcheson its upper side portions adjacent opposite ends of said 'top portion,a pair of spaced clamping members adapted to t within said notches, saidclamping members having means'adapted to engage opposite ends of saidshaving heads, and means adaptedl to removably attach said shaving headsthrough said clamping members to said casing.
